Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1544402A2] The door panel (1) is guided so that the resulting pressure and wind forces do not act in the momentary opening or closing direction of the door but are directed perpendicular thereto. During the opening and closing process the door panel is not moved in a room plane but executes a rotational movement so that the alignment is changed.
